Patient's question:
Tonight after the child had dinner, they said their stomach felt uncomfortable. A while later, they started feeling nauseous and vomiting. What should I do about this child's fever, nausea, and vomiting? Without knowing the cause, what kind of medicine can I give them? What methods can quickly reduce the fever?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the child's diarrhea accompanied by fever, it should still be a gastrointestinal-type cold, which is a common illness in infants and young children and is mostly caused by viral infections. It is recommended to give the child oral antiviral medication and fever-reducing medication, as well as oral dilute sugar saline to prevent further dehydration. If the nausea and vomiting are severe, it may be necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous treatment. The above information can serve as a reference.
